The Maldivian government has asserted that it would not honour the Singapore High Court's order that stayed the termination of GMR's airport contract.

Masood Imad, the Maldivian President's media secretary, alleged that the Singapore High Court's order was a wrong interpretation of law, and stressed that a court does not own the right to issue such an injunction against a sovereign state.

Speaking on the topic, Imad said, "The judge was incorrect in interpreting the law. Where compensation is adequate, an injunction cannot be issued. A court cannot issue such an injunction against a sovereign state."
